Our account has proved extremely successful. As well as enabling UCL authors to choose Gold open access at a discounted rate, it removes much of the administrative burden of article publishing charges. Authors like the scheme and find it easy to use. BMJ's open access team has been very supportive and helpful. Catherine Sharp , Open Access Funding Manager, University College London
